Author's Note: Only reviewer, this one is for you! I'm still working on the others but I really liked this idea. :3 This one is pre-canon! So, I imagine like the year before the show actually started.


"Are you ready for the big game tonight?" Caroline asked, azure eyes fixated on her reflection as she finished applying a faint blush to her cheeks.

"Not really. I haven't worked on my back flips all summer long." Elena mentioned, bringing her blue tank top over her head, revealing her lacy, black bra.

Caroline's eyes flickered over to the other girl, gazing up and down at her friend's figure. "Okay, maybe so, but I bet Matt's going to look cute tonight in his jersey."

Elena chuckled, sliding down her jeans after unbuttoning them. She shook her head, long locks flowing. "You always love to play matchmaker."

Caroline placed down her makeup brush once she felt she'd accomplished the look she was going for. Giving herself a one over in the mirror, she rose from where she sat on the small stool before her vanity. She crossed the room and turned the knob on her closet, revealing many outfits and shoes. Withdrawing her cheer uniform, she threw it onto the mattress.

"Of course I do. There's nothing like setting up a cute boy and a cute girl who I deem are compatible." Caroline winked at her friend. "Can you undo this?" She spun so her back faced Elena.

"Sure," The brunette walked over and undid the zipper to Caroline's dress.

Swiftly, Caroline brought the dress down and off her body, placing it aside into the nearby hamper.

Elena's eyes raked over the blonde's body, her cheeks flushing softly when she realized her gaze had been lingering too long as Caroline spun around and cerulean hues caught chocolate orbs.

"What? You wish you had this body, don't you?" Caroline teased, moving back towards the mattress.

Elena laughed, a hearty chuckle escaping her parted lips. "As if."

Biting down on her lip, Caroline's eyes glittered deviously. "Who wouldn't?"

Tilting her head a fraction, Elena shook it, lengthy tresses waving with her movement. She simply rolled her eyes at her friend. "Alright, you do have a nice body." She complimented.

"Yours isn't so bad either." Caroline smirked, lips etched into a sly grin.

The brunette plucked up her skirt and stepped into it, pulling the article of clothing up her slender legs. She waited for Caroline to zip it up, and once the blonde met her across the room and did the zipper, Elena spun to face her. "Really? Is that what you think?"

"That's what I know." Caroline responded, her lips still pressed into a thin grin.

Elena's eyes flicked between Caroline's and down towards her lips. Breaking her mind of the thoughts churning within, she focused on grasping the blonde's skirt. "Am I detecting a bit of jealousy?" Elena jest, musing in an upbeat tone.

"Please, Elena." The other girl answered. "My hot bod is definitely better. Guys are always following me around like little puppies." She reminded the brunette.

"Little puppies? Caroline." Elena looked at her friend seriously, a lopsided grin appearing on her face.

"It's true!" Caroline stepped into her skirt and watched as the brunette pulled it up her body, right to her hips and then zipped it.

Elena's fingertips grazed Caroline's skin before she retracted her hands. "Fine. It's true." She picked up her top and handed it to her best friend.

Accepting the article of clothing, Caroline helped apply it to Elena's body and she motioned with her index finger for the other girl to spin around. After Elena hoisted her hair up, Caroline did the zipper. "I'm going to be Miss Mystic Falls and you know I'm going to be prom queen when the time comes."

Another chuckle escaped Elena, "Yeah, yeah, Caroline. Whatever you say."

"Come on, it's been decided since I was in first grade practically." She pulled her own top over her head, tugging it down onto her form and waited for Elena to zip her up.

After doing so, Caroline crossed back to the vanity table and picked up a red ribbon. She paced over to Elena and began pulling the brunette's hair back into a pony tail. Once satisfied with how it looked, she wrapped the ribbon around it and began to tie it off.

Elena's eyes lingered on herself in the mirror. "Do you really think I've got what it takes to be on the cheer squad?"

"Duh! We've been doing this since junior high. Just because you haven't practiced all summer doesn't mean you'll be bad at it." Caroline leaned her chin onto Elena's shoulder, smiling at her in the mirror. "Don't be so hard on yourself!"

"You're always so... peppy."

Shrugging, Caroline bounced over to the vanity and pulled out the stool, patting it as if to tell Elena to take a seat. "I'm just me."

Elena moved to the stool and took a plop onto it. "Well, for what it's worth, I like you." She told her friend, chocolate hues sparkling, big doe eyes looking up to Caroline.

"I like you too, 'Lena."
